Cancer as a Metabolic Disease

This book expounds on the theory of cancer put forth by Otto Warburg that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. While serving as one of the first theories to address the origins of cancer, Dr. Warburg's theory was discredited because it did not link his theory to the hallmarks—or primary characteristics—of cancer, such as uncontrolled growth or lack of cell death. This book provides evidence that cancer does indeed originate from poor metabolic functions triggered by cellular defects and explains why this is so.  You will come away with a better understanding about the origins of cancer and how metabolic abnormalities are more than merely correlations but are in fact causal factors. This information can be applied to other cancers, particularly brain cancer, as these cancers also exhibit metabolic abnormalities.
